Group of Exp Invertebrates Strasbourg, 19 May 2000 T-PVS (2000) 26 [tpvs26e_2000.doc] CONVENTION ON THE CONSERVATION OF EUROPEAN WILDLIFE AND NATURAL HABITATS Group of Experts on Conservation of Invertebrates 6th meeting Neuchâtel (Switzerland), 13 May 2000 REPORT OF THE MEETING Secrétariat Memorandum prepared by the Directorate of Sustainable Development __________________________________________________________ This document will not be distributed at the meeting. Please bring this copy. Ce document ne sera plus distribué en réunion. Prière de vous munir de cet exemplaire. T-PVS (2000) 26 - 2 – The Group of Experts on the Conservation of Invertebrates held its 6th meeting in Neuchâtel (Switzerland) on 13 May 2000, in accordance with the terms of reference set up by the Standing Committee. The Standing Committee is invited to : 1. thank the Swiss conservation authorities, the Canton of Neuchâtel and the City of Neuchâtel for the material support for the meeting ; thank the Swiss Centre for Cartography of Fauna for the excellent preparation of the meeting ; 2. take note of the report of the meeting ; 3. examine and, in appropriate, adopt the draft recommendation enclosed on Action Plan for Margaritifera margaritifera (Appendix 4) and and Action Plan for Margaritifera auricularia (Appendix 5) ; 4. when taken decisions on the programme and budget for 2001 to 2003, take into account the following activities : - Strategy on Invertebrate Convservation in Europe ; - Red Book on Odonata ; - Strengthening of Bern Convention website with invertebrate information ; - European Project on conservation of Margaritifera margaritifera ; 5. when deciding on the future of this group, take into account a possible co-ordination with other initiatives on invertebrate conservation, such as the European Invertebrate Survey, which might be asked to play a future role in assessing the Convention on invertebrate issues. - 3 - T-PVS (2000) 26 1. Opening of the meeting by the Chair The Chair of the Group, Mr Anastasios Legakis (Greece), welcomed participants, noted that it was 10 years since the Group first met and opened the meeting. A list of participants appears in Appendix 1 to this document. 2. Adoption of the agenda The agenda was adopted as it figures in Appendix 2 to this document. 3. Secretariat Report The Secretariat informed the Group that the Standing Committee to the Convention had adopted in December 1998 its Recommendation No. 65 on the conservation of Maculinea butterflies, as suggested by the Group. In addition, the Standing Committee had agreed to include in its programme of activities the extension to Southern and Eastern Europe of the study on invertebrates canditates for Appendix II of the Convention and the Action Plans for Margaritifera margaritifera and Margaritifera auricularia. Another work that was finished was the Red Book of Rhopalocera. All these three reports were to be discussed later in the agenda. The Standing Committee had also taken the suggestion of the Group to review activities concerning marine biodiversity, another subject proposed by the Group. The Committee examined in December 1999 the report presented by the consultant, Mr Costello, but wanted the report to be revised before any further decision. The main purpose of the report is to analyse what activities on conservation of marine life are being carried out by other international initiatives and conventions so as to define a possible role for the Bern Convention on the conservation of marine life. The Secretariat also informed the Committee on the progress in the setting-up of the Emerald Network, notably by the completion of pilot projects in Bulgaria, Slovenia and Russia in 1999. In year 1999 and 2000, pilot projects have started in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Turkey and Slovakia. Moldova and Romania are to start projects in year 2000 so that 11 non-EU states are already deeply involved in the exercise. In EU the Natura 2000 Network is also progressing fast, so that many areas are being targeted for conservation as a result of having Bern Convention invertebrates, quite good news. At the Council of Europe a process of prioritisation of activites has meant that the Organisation will concentrate on political and human rights issues, which may mean a certain downsizing of action in the field of environment. This means that the Bern Convention will have to work more efficiently, looking for external partners that may wish to collaborate with the Council of Europe in keeping a meaningful environment sector. For the Group of Experts this meant that the regularity of its meetings (every two years) would be examined by the Standing Committee. It was likely that the Group was only to meet on an ad hoc basis or in co-operation with other organisations. A discussion on the future of the Group is to be held in point 9 of the agenda. 4. Progress in invertebrates conservation since the last meeting The delegates of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Moldova, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom presented their reports, that of Belgium concerning only the Walloon Region. These national reports are presented in Appendix 3 to this document. T-PVS (2000) 26 - 4 – The Chairman summarised the reports as follows : - there had been in the last two years an increase in action towards conservation of invertebrates, both in the implementation of action plans and in the establishment of protected areas in Europe, this in particular focussed on the setting-up of the Natura 2000 Network and – more recently – in the Emerald Network ; - much work was being done in states that are candidates to the accession of the European Union ; - research on invertebrates seemed to be progressing well, thanks in particular to well- established institutions (universities, museums and specialised institutes or centres) and to the active involvement of amateurs ; - in most European states, governments and scientists was building at the national level a strong co-operation on invertebrate issues ; - there was lack of international collaboration, such as the one facilitated by the group. That would be a reason to try to make the group more active and look for its survival in whatever appropriate form ; - new technologies, and particularly Internet, were changing the way in which information was being communicated on invertebrate issues. The Group should try to use the Council of Europe website to enhance its activities. 5. Action Plans for Margaritifera margaritifera and Margaritifera auricularia – Water quality standards related to the presence of Margaritifera margaritifera [documents T-PVS (2000) 9, T-PVS (2000) 10, T-PVS/Invertebrates (2000) 2] Both Action Plans were presented by the experts, Mr Rafael Araujo and Mrs Marian Ramos. The Group welcomed the Action Plans, which were very much needed, raised their quality and wished that they be circulated for comment before their final version. The representative of France informed the Committee on the survey of Margaritifera auricularia carried out in France, which had produced positive results for 5 rivers. The Group recommended the governments of Spain and France to co-ordinate a common conservation initiative for the species, which is probably the most threatened mollusc in Europe. EU LIFE programme was mentioned as a possible funding source. The Group instructed the Secretariat to prepare a Draft recommendation along the same lines as Recommendation No. 65 (see Draft recommendation in Appendix 4 to this document). Discussing Margaritifera margaritifera, the Group noted that there was no protocol for carrying out standarised surveys for the species. The Group asked the Secretariat to prepare another draft recommendation for Margaritifera margaritifera insisting in particular in the need of international collaboration (Draft recommendation in Appendix 5 to this document). - 5 - T-PVS (2000) 26 Water standards allowing the development of Margaritifera margaritifera populations Mr Speight presented a document pointing out the usefulness of Margaritifera margaritifera for improving water quality by may of their filtering action. He suggested that, as Margaritifera margaritifera was extremely sensitive to water pollution, a new water quality standard be established for Europe, one that takes into account the needs of this species and other aquatic organisms. The Secretariat provided to circulate the paper to concerned governments for comment. Regarding a proposal to co-ordinate a project on conservation of Margaritifera margaritifera in Europe the Secretariat informed the Committee that, in the present circumstances, the Bern Convention Secretariat was in no position to co-ordinate such project, however interesting. 6. Red Data Book on Butterflies (Rhopalocera) Mr Chris van Swaay presented this report (published in Council of Europe Nature and Environment Series No. 100). The Group expressed its satisfaction for the completion of this very useful book and wished that the same approach be used for other groups. 7. European Red Lists of Invertebrates [document T-PVS (99) 41] The Secretariat presented the document, which had been compiled by Professor Balletto. The Secretariat reminded the Group that the study was to complement the report compiled by Mr John Haslett (document T-PVS (98) 9) so a list of potential candidates for the Convention and, eventually, for the Habitats Directive – might be screemed. The idea was to have available information on threatened

Our hosts: Melanie and Peter Rich at Casa Sarasa www.casasarasa.com Photos by Chris Gibson (CG), Helen Crowder (HC) and Peter Crook (PC), all taken during this holiday. At the end of this report there are photos of some of the non-British moths seen during the week. Front cover: enjoying Aisa valley (CG). Below: eating outside on the last evening (CG) and the green pastures of the upper Hecho valley (HC). This holiday, as for every Honeyguide holiday, also puts something into conservation in our host country by way of a contribution to the wildlife that we enjoyed, in this case for La Sociedad Española de Ornitología (SEO), the Spanish Ornithological Society, and its work in Aragón. The conservation contribution this year of £40 per person was supplemented by gift aid through the Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust, leading to a total of £440 This donation brings the total given to SEO since the first Honeyguide holiday in Spain in 1991 to £16,745 (through all Honeyguide holidays, mostly the Spanish Pyrenees and Extremadura). As at July 2016, the total for all conservation contributions through Honeyguide since 1991 was £108,716. 2 DAILY DIARY Wednesday 15 June: The way there… What should have been a simple journey, Stansted to Biarritz then minibus to Berdún, had by 8pm turned out rather differently. After a series of delays due to thundery weather our flight eventually got onto French tarmac an hour late, where we were held on the plane because of the heavy rain, although any benefit from that was soon negated when we had to wait outside, in the continuing deluge, while another plane took off.

Es gibt die besonders ursprüngli- chen Gliederspinnen (Unterordung Mesothelae), vertreten nur durch eine einzige Familie (Liphistiidae), die Vogelspinnenartigen (Mygalomorphae) mit 15 Familien und die „modernen“ Echten Webspinnen (Araneomorphae) mit über 90 Familien und den bei weitem meisten Arten (über 37.000). Die Mygalomorphae wurden ehedem auch als Orthognatha, die Araneomorphae als Labidognatha geführt. Diese Namen sind insofern bezeichnend, als sie sich auf das augenfälligste Unterscheidungsmerkmal beider Gruppen beziehen: Die Kiefer der Vogelspinnenartigen sind vor dem Prosoma (Vorderleib) horizontal angeordnet (Abb. 1) und arbeiten nebeneinander auf und ab, die der Echten Webspinnen stehen eher vertikal unter der Prosomafront und bewegen sich pinzettenartig aufeinander zu (vgl. FOELIX 1992). Die mygalomorphen Spinnen leben ganz hauptsächlich in den warmen Gebieten der Erde. Am bekanntesten sind die Theraphosidae, die „eigentlichen“ Vogelspinnen. Sie sind zumeist stark behaart und oft auffällig gefärbt. Unter ihnen befinden sich die größten Spinnen überhaupt, und sie werden nicht selten als Haustiere in Terrarien gehalten (SCHMIDT 1989). Viele Mygalomorphae sind aber weniger spektakuläre Er- scheinungen und führen als Bodenbesiedler, die Wohnröhren in das Erdreich gra- ben, ein sehr verstecktes Leben. Im mediterranen und südöstlichen Europa existie- ren in mehreren Familien immerhin um die 60 Arten (PLATNICK 2007, HELSDINGEN © Biologische Station Westliches Ruhrgebiet e.

  • Lepidoptera of a Raised Bog and Adjacent Forest in Lithuania
    Eur. J. Entomol. 101: 63–67, 2004 ISSN 1210-5759 Lepidoptera of a raised bog and adjacent forest in Lithuania DALIUS DAPKUS Department of Zoology, Vilnius Pedagogical University, Studentų 39, LT–2004 Vilnius, Lithuania; e-mail: daldap@vpu.lt Key words. Lepidoptera, tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species, communities, raised bog, wet forest, Lithuania Abstract. Studies on nocturnal Lepidoptera were carried out on the Laukėnai raised bog and the adjacent wet forest in 2001. Species composition and abundance were evaluated and compared. The species richness was much higher in the forest than at the bog. The core of each lepidopteran community was composed of 22 species with an abundance of higher than 1.0% of the total catch. Tyrpho- philous Hypenodes humidalis (22.0% of all individuals) and Nola aerugula (13.0%) were the dominant species in the raised bog community, while tyrphoneutral Pelosia muscerda (13.6%) and Eilema griseola (8.3%) were the most abundant species at the forest site. Five tyrphobiotic and nine tyrphophilous species made up 43.4% of the total catch on the bog, and three and seven species, respectively, at the forest site, where they made up 9.2% of all individuals. 59% of lepidopteran species recorded on the bog and 36% at the forest site were represented by less than five individuals. The species compositions of these communities showed a weak similarity. Habitat preferences of the tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species and dispersal of some of the species between the habi- tats are discussed. INTRODUCTION (1996). Ecological terminology is that of Mikkola & Spitzer (1983), Spitzer & Jaroš (1993), Spitzer (1994): tyrphobiontic The insect fauna of isolated raised bogs in Europe is species are species that are strongly associated with peat bogs, unique in having a considerable portion of relict boreal while tyrphophilous taxa are more abundant on bogs than in and subarctic species (Mikkola & Spitzer, 1983; Spitzer adjacent habitats.

  • Trichomycetes from Lentic and Lotic Aquatic Habitats in Ontario, Canada
    1449 Trichomycetes from lentic and lotic aquatic habitats in Ontario, Canada D.B. Strongman and Merlin M. White Abstract: Fungi and protists make up an ecological group, trichomycetes, that inhabit the guts of invertebrates, mostly aquatic insects. Trichomycetes are reported herein from arthropods collected in lotic habitats (fast flowing streams) and lentic environments (ponds, ditches, seeps, and lakes) from 11 sites in Algonquin Park and 6 other sites in Ontario, Can- ada. Thirty-two trichomycete species were recovered, including 7 new species: Legeriomyces algonquinensis, Legeriosi- milis leptocerci, Legeriosimilis whitneyi, and Paramoebidium umbonatum are described from mayfly nymphs (Ephemeroptera); Pennella digitata and Glotzia incilis from black fly and midge larvae (Diptera), respectively; and Arun- dinula opeongoensis from a crayfish (Crustacea). Legeriomyces rarus Lichtw. & M.C. Williams and Stachylina penetralis Lichtw. are new North American records, and seven species are documented for the first time in Canada. More common and widely distributed trichomycete species such as Harpella melusinae Le´ger & Duboscq and Smittium culicis Manier, were also recovered. Most previous studies on trichomycetes have been done primarily in lotic environments but clearly lentic systems (e.g., ponds and lakes) harbour diverse arthropod communities and further exploration of these habitats will continue to increase our knowledge of trichomycete diversity. Key words: Amoebidiales, Eccrinales, Harpellales, insect fungal endobionts, symbiotic protista. Re´sume´ : Les champignons et les protistes comportent un groupe e´cologique, les trichomyce`tes, qui habitent les intestins de la plupart des insectes aquatiques. Les auteurs rapportent des ttrichomyce`tes provenant d’arthropodes vivants dans des habitats lotiques (cours d’eau rapides) et des environnements lentiques (e´tangs, fosse´s, suintement et lacs) re´colte´s sur 11 sites dans le parc Algonquin et six autres sites en Ontario, au Canada.

    Boletín de la Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa (S.E.A.), nº 52 (30/6/2013): 244–248. NEWS ON TRUE BUGS OF SERRA DE COLLSEROLA NATURAL PARK (NE IBERIAN PENINSULA) AND THEIR POTENTIAL USE IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION (INSECTA, HETEROPTERA) Víctor Osorio1, Marcos Roca-Cusachs2 & Marta Goula3 1 Mestre Lluís Millet, 92, Bxos., 3a; 08830 Sant Boi de Llobregat; Barcelona, Spain – voa257@gmail.com 2 Plaça Emili Mira i López, 3, Bxos.; 08022 Barcelona, Spain – mrcitos@hotmail.com 3 Departament de Biologia Animal and Institut de Recerca de la Biodiversitat (IRBio), Facultat de Biologia, Universitat de Barcelona (UB), Avda. Diagonal 645, 08028 Barcelona, Spain – mgoula@ub.edu Abstract: A checklist of 43 Heteropteran species collected in the area of influence of Can Coll School of Nature is given. By its rarity in the Catalan fauna, the mirid Deraeocoris (D.) schach (Fabricius, 1781) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (N.) maculatus Fieber, 1851 are interesting species. Plus being rare species, the mirid Macrotylus (A.) solitarius (Meyer-Dür, 1843) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (S.) umbrinus (Wolff, 1804) are new records for the Natural Park. The mirids Alloetomus germanicus Wagner, 1939 and Amblytylus brevicollis Fieber, 1858, and the pentatomid Eysarcoris aeneus (Scopoli, 1763) are new contributions for the Park checklist. The Heteropteran richness of Can Coll suggests them as study group for the environmental education goals of this School of Nature. Key words: Heteroptera, faunistics, new records, environmental education, Serra de Collserola, Catalonia, Iberian Peninsula.
